Creating a Test in Blackboard Using Question Pools

In this video we're going to look at how to build a test in Blackboard, using Blackboard's Test creation tools. Rather than simply build a test, we're going to show how you can use question pools and random blocks of questions to make it more difficult for students to cheat through collaboration and answer sharing.

Just about to make my first question pools. Thank you for the very clear video! I'm sure your video has had many more shares since COVID and the move to online teaching and learning :)

Very clear instructions

Is there a way to have the "instructions" entered when creating a pool show within each question of the pool when they are pulled into a Blackboard test? I have a language instructor who has one audio file that applies to many questions in her pool. She added the audio file in the "instructions" text box when creating the Pool, but these instructions aren't being pulled into each test when they come into her Blackboard test. Thank you.

How do you randomize the blocks when you publish the test?
